Crazy Man's Handcuffs is a great one. Don't overlook the Arm Twist that Copperfield does either. No props, nothing in your hand but your other hand and it kills.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That'll teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Oh man how can I forget, the arm twist is great as well as Baladucci levitation.

Hello All,

Try a ring and shoelace routine ... with a borrowed shoelace and borrowed ring. Great if you have NOTHING.

Twisting Arm is also a good one.

Chad Long has a great effect with a ring and your finger that you can literally do in a hot tub .. n@ked ... if you needed.

Simple coin vanish is always good.

If in the right season, I like to use a lot of sleights from "Catapult" by Brian Platt.

Brian Platt's teaching and uses of the Catapult is extremely good.
His Catapult Pick-up Move is nothing short of brilliant. Modest magician, no over selling, but impeccable technique (it looks casual!!!).

I love all my purchases from Brian Platt so far, and this is rare for me.

I always have my wedding ring and a handkerchief with nine effects practiced. A selection of those usually suffices. Then, if I have an audience, I do mentalism stuff.
